Adding two exit early safeguards in the *nix configuration build script:
1) Given the initial cd into the build tree fails (the project root),
the `buildconf` script exits with non-zero status (failure).
2) Given the grep command does not exist or `configure.ac` AC_INIT [1]
expectations are unmet, the buildconf script exits non-zero.
Additionally quoting the pathname to cd into and the empty CD_PATH
parameter for portability, also for systems that are using a
non-portable pathname [2] for the build tree.
The initial CD safeguard has been applied to the `buildconf` and
four more scripts:
- build/genif.sh
- scripts/dev/credits
- scripts/dev/genfiles
- scripts/dev/makedist
Rationale:
Cd-ing into the project root should always prematurely exit w/ FAILURE
as a required precondition for its invocation has not been met. This
should never go unnoticed as it always requires user intervention.
Similar and more specifically to the PHP build on *nix systems, the
grep command is required early to obtain the `php_extra_version` from
configure.ac. Previously, if the grep command is missing (or failing
due to not matching the line with the AC_INIT macro [1]), the internal
dev parameter would always be zero (0) which can easily result in the
situation that the configure script is not being rebuilt. This is
cumbersome as the rebuild of a configure script is more likely required
with checked-out dev versions under change rather than an already
properly set-up build environment on a dedicated build or release
system. Missing the fact that either the grep utility is missing or
the expectation of having the AC_INIT macro in configure.ac is unmet
should never go unnoticed as it always requires user intervention.

Closes GH-16717.
This fixes the incompatible pointer type warnings when checking for
reentrant functions declaractions (-Wincompatible-pointer-types) in
config.log. These were not declared on some obsolete systems if
_REENTRANT was not defined. The check is for now left in the code base
but can be transitioned to newer code without checking for missing
declarations or using these otherwise in the future.
Closes GH-14315.
* Fix check for newer versions of ICU
The previous test would always trigger, even if the version of ICU
installed didn't require C++17. This was because it incorrectly used
the `test` program, which broke the build on systems without a C++17
compiler.
Tested with macOS 14 and i 7.2.
* Fix broken ICU version check for definition
Same as the previous fix for C++17.

This is addon to the GH-13727 bug fix. When configuring the build with:
./configure CFLAGS=-Werror=strict-prototypes
libtool check for parsing nm command would fail:
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output from cc object... failed
Upstream libtool has this specific check already fixed. Note that this
works only with Autoconf version 2.72 and later and is preparation for
future compilers that might have this error enabled by default.
This is a backport of commit 03f15534a1 to
PHP-8.2 due to GH-14002 and fixes the PHP_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX check in
ext/intl whether the specified C++ standard is mandatory or optional.
The `dnl` (Discard to Next Line) M4 macro in this combination of `m4_if`
macros and arguments isn't properly replaced and a literal `dnl` string
is appended in the configure script. The `[]dnl` works ok.
autoconf/libtool generating code to test features missed `void` for
C calls prototypes w/o arguments.
Note that specific changes related to libtool have to be upstreamed.

Global --tag=CC defined in configure.ac is not correct in all cases. For example
linking objects that were compiled from C++ sources needs to be done with C++
compiler, however for link mode libtool will prefer compiler indicated with
--tag.
Fixes GH-12349
We are experiencing an issue when building PHP with DTrace enabled with
SystemTap (see GH-11847).† The issue is caused by inappropriate use C
preprocessor detected by GNU Autoconf in our “configure” script. C
preprocessor configuration found by AC_PROG_CPP macro is portable only
to run on files with “.c” extension.‡ However, statically-defined tracing
is described by D programs with “.d” extension which causes the issue.
We experience this even on typical Linux distribution with GNU Compiler
Collection (GCC) unless we override the defaults detected by our
“configure” script.
Many major Linux distributions use SystemTap to provide “dtrace”
utility. It relies on both external C preprocessor and external C
compiler. C preprocessor can be customized via CPP environment variable.
Similarly, C compiler can be customized via CC environment variable. It
also allows customization of C compiler flags via CFLAGS environment
variable. We have recently aligned both CPP and CC environment variable
with C preprocessor and C compiler we use to build regular C source code
as provided by our “configure” script (see GH-11643).* We wanted to
allow cross-compilation on Linux for which this was the only blocker. C
compiler flags from CFLAGS_CLEAN macro have already been in place since
versions 5.4.20 and 5.5.4 from 2013-09-18.
We had modified all “dtrace” invocations in the same way to make it look
consistent. However, only the C compiler (CC environment variable) is
necessary to for cross-compilation. There have never been any reported
issue with the C preprocessor. We acknowledge it would be great to allow
C preprocessor customization as well. However, the implementation would
require a lot of effort to do correctly given the limitations of
AC_PROG_CPP macro from GNU Autoconf. This would be further complicated
by the fact that all DTrace implementations, not just SystemTap, allow C
preprocessor customization but Oracle DTrace, Open DTrace, and their
forks do it differently. Nevertheless, they all default to “cpp” utility
and they all have or had been working fine. Therefore, we believe simply
removing CPP stabilizes “dtrace” invocation on Linux systems with
SystemTap and aligns it with other system configurations on other
platforms, until someone comes with complete solution with custom “m4”
and “make” macros, while our build system on Linux with SystemTap
supports cross-compilation.

With DTrace support enabled during ./configure, our custom Autoconf
macro PHP_INIT_DTRACE creates make rules to generate header and object
files using dtrace utility. SystemTap† implementation of dtrace relies
on other utilities to provide header preprocessing and final object file
compilation. These utilities are configured by common environment
variables with common defaults:‡
* preprocessor from CPP defaults to “cpp”
* compiler from CC defaults to “gcc”
* compiler arguments can be expanded with CFLAGS
This has been in SystemTap since version 1.5 released on 2011-05-23. We
have been setting CFLAGS for dtrace since 717b367 released in versions
5.4.20 and 5.5.4 on 2013-09-18. This change fixed build against
SystemTap. It fixes majority of cases since practically all free Linux
distributions use SystemTap for DTrace-like dynamic tracing and
practically all of them use GCC or compatible compiler suite. However,
this becomes an issue when cross-compiling using GCC because utility
names contain target triplets. Autoconf already handles
cross-compilation well —setting correct CC and CPP make macros
(variables).
Therefore, we simply set CC and CPP environment variables using
respective macros when executing dtrace. Although SystemTap dtrace does
not always use CC nor CPP, we set it every time. SystemTap documentation
does not talk about this at all¶, so it is safer to always set it. We
also follow how we set CFLAGS every time in the past.
Original (or ported) DTrace mainly used on Oracle Linux, Solaris and
macOS ignores these and does not support cross compilation.§

statically-defined tracing from DTrace.
